Chapter 811 Being a distinguished guest

When Prefect Fei and the others heard this, they all felt a little uneasy...

What was the Duke of Yan's intention in letting them hear this?

Is it to tell them that there is no need to look for hidden spies anymore?

Xu Xiaoqi frowned, almost unable to hold back... If the enemies are not killed completely, there will be endless troubles. Duke Yan actually said such a thing. Could it be that Duke Yan was also colluding with the enemy?

But General Liang had told him not to be disrespectful to the Duke of Yan. If he had any questions, he should return to the camp and ask him, but he must never refute the Duke of Yan to his face.

Otherwise, get out of the Northwest Army!

So Xu Xiaoqi decided to follow military orders.

Zhou Zhaoniang picked up the pen and wrote: I don’t quite understand.

After reading this, Duke Yan smiled and looked at Ji'er: "Ji'er, do you understand?"

Yan Ji said: "Now, how to fight against the two powerful enemies and how to protect the stability of the country are the top priorities. It is right to investigate the case, but if we investigate a case relentlessly and it will shake the foundation of the country, then we have to put it aside for now. When the time is right, we will continue to investigate thoroughly and eradicate the thieves."

Duke Yan nodded: "It's not bad to have such an opinion at the age of thirteen."

After hearing this, Yan Ji's eyes lit up, but he knew that this was not enough... Compared to his uncle who was a genius, he only had insights, but he had no means to stabilize the situation.

"My nephew still has to continue learning." Yan Ji said as calmly as possible, but there was a hint of optimism in his tone.

Duke Yan noticed this and became more satisfied with Yan Ji.

Although he is smart and knows how to judge people and situations, he still retains the mentality of a teenager and is a good kid.

After hearing this, Zhou Zhaoniang picked up her pen and wrote something, presenting it to Duke Yan: I understand. My knowledge is still not enough, I have to work hard!

Huang Xianniang's world is only about survival, while Zhou Zhaoniang's world is about being above many people, standing high up, and looking at the whole world.

If she is not knowledgeable enough, then even if the Duke of Yan lifts her to the sky, her shallowness will only harm the world.

"Very good. But you must combine work and rest, and don't overwork your body and brain." Compared to Yan Ji, Duke Yan was more satisfied with Huang Xianniang.

She is truly a top-notch unpolished jade, and her chance of becoming a treasure is much greater than that of Yan Ji.

"Prefect Fei." Duke Yan called out.

"I'm here." Prefect Fei hurriedly brought Zeng Tongzhi and others to a few meters away from Duke Yan, bowed his head, and waited for Duke Yan's instructions.

Duke Yan said: "The incident of marrying off the daughter of Wansong Village ends here for now... However, if you meet someone who takes this token to the government office in the future, you must do your best to help him."

An Neijian immediately took out a small box, came to Prefect Fei and handed it to him.

Prefect Fei took it hurriedly and looked at Duke Yan.

The Duke of Yan held up the first token in his hand and said, "This is the first token, and the one you hold is the second token. Once the two tokens match, we can open each other's tokens."

"This token is only used to stop foreign enemies."

"With the status of the second gate of the official army, plus a letter with the personal seal of your majesty or me, and the first token, your yamen will assist you."

Of course, it is impossible for you to come here with just a token and order the entire yamen to do things.

What if the first card is stolen?

What if the person who gets the first card rebels?

Therefore, the reason why tokens, jade pendants, name cards and other items can command the government and the army is that there is a mechanism behind them.

It's not like we can do things for you just by looking at the things.

"I understand, Your Majesty. Please rest assured, the Dongzhou government will keep this order in mind." Prefect Fei said solemnly.

Zeng Tongzhi, Qian Deputy Manager, Xu Xiaoqi and others all lowered their heads and said nothing, not daring to express their curiosity.

"Duke, the distinguished guest has arrived." Another eunuch, Ning, came in with a happy look on his face and said to Duke Yan.

After hearing this, Duke Yan smiled and said to Prefect Fei, "Thank you for your hard work, everyone. Go and have a good Dragon Boat Festival. We can deal with the criminals after the festival."

"The case of Jin San and others plotting against Mr. Xue's family can be made bigger. Mr. Jin has a big family and a big business, so he can handle it."

I understand. This means we need to continue to strangle the Jin family and make them spend more of the people's money!

After all, the Jin family has been enjoying the benefits for hundreds of years, and it is their responsibility to give some of the profits back to the national treasury.

"Be kind to the women implicated in this case and do not treat them harshly, otherwise they will be severely sentenced according to the law."

At the end of the conversation, the usually gentle Duke of Yan had a murderous look on his face, like a fierce god who was angry and punishing the world, which made people tremble with fear!

"Yes, I will keep it in mind. Please rest assured, Your Majesty." Prefect Fei responded solemnly. He didn't dare to say more and just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

After a gentle "hmm", the steward came over and said with a smile, "Please come in, my lords."

Prefect Fei and others hurriedly followed the young steward and left. They did not dare to stay any longer, and they no longer had the interest to go to the banquet place by the river to meet Mr. Jing.

It was because they all remembered why the Duke of Yan had specifically told them to treat the female family members of the criminal well?

The queen and many female members of the Duke of Yan's family were thrown into a frying pan filled with hot oil and died!

This move scared the team that was going to capture the queen and the women of the Yan family half to death.

During the Ningkang period, the Empress and the women of the Yan family were often cursed for this way of death.

And now, no one dares to mention this law of death again.

Those who understand will understand why he chose this way to die.

Xu Xiaoqi and Deputy Manager Qian's eyes were teary because of this, and they admired the queen and the women of the Yan family who had passed away many years ago.

"Please come this way."

A voice was heard, attracting the attention of Governor Fei and the others.

It was the steward of Duke Yan, passing by with a few people. Judging from their direction, they were going to Chen Tower where Duke Yan lived.

But those people looked unfamiliar, and there was also a skinny old man in the team who was staggering as he walked.

"That guy is a martial artist, he must be quite skilled, we can tell by the way he walks." After the man walked away, Xu Xiaoqi said happily, "He must be from our Wei army."

Zeng Tongzhi: “…”

Fool, your Wei army has such a young and powerful newcomer who can even meet the Duke of Yan, why are you so happy?

There are only so many positions, someone is here to take your position, and you still want to move up?!

Fortunately, Zeng Tongzhi didn't say this out loud, otherwise Xu Xiaoqi would definitely scold him.

Soldiers, especially good ones, are becoming increasingly difficult to obtain, so the Northwest Army has a military rule that is to protect high-quality soldiers.

Anyone who dares to attack top-notch soldiers out of jealousy will be killed!

And the guards and clansmen of the person who did the attack will be punished together!

"Oh, sir, you are indeed a famous scholar of the time. Your calligraphy and painting are also outstanding. This portrait of Master Tai Gang looks kind like a family member, yet majestic like a heavenly master. This makes me admire him so much that I want to kowtow to him immediately!"

At the banquet venue on the river bank, the students continued to ostentatiously praise Mr. Jing.

Someone else suggested: "Taoist Taigang is your master and has a high status. We cannot just send him to the temple casually. We should hold a ceremony on a chosen day to show your respect for Taoist Taigang!"

"This is a good suggestion, please accept it, sir!"

After a lot of arguing, they finally reached a conclusion through discussion.

"Nine is the maximum number. So, we will choose the ninth day of the fifth lunar month to send this portrait to the City God Temple of Dongzhou Prefecture for worship, to protect our master on his path of cultivation in another world!"

The other world is the underworld.

Lao Qiong said with red eyes and choked up.

The students present all echoed.

Some of them are good at acting and cried more miserably than if their own grandfather had died.

……

Jiang Dalang, Xu Sanjun, Old Man Xun, and Xiao Mutong arrived at the capital city in advance to meet Duke Yan and be honored guests at Chen Tower.
